This Just In - Current USH Happenings

[Viator]

On the USH App, they are preparing to debut the ability to link you debit/credit card onto that of the app on IOS, and have now implemented the new park map and reservations for Toadstool's Cafe and all Universal owned dining restaurants at Citywalk Hollywood.

Linking your card is cool, how can it be used?

Like just for buying tickets? Since there is no Mobile food orders (yer)

They could be prepping to go fully cashless for any and all transactions if they haven't yet--and having your card linked with NFC may allow them to make it easier for the consumer.

As for Mobile Ordering, have heard it is something they have been wanting to implement but it could be a matter of not being easy to implement just yet.

Super against the whole cashless things parks seem to be doing.

Yes, pain in the butt. Kennywood went cashless last summer. I dropped my AP in response. Using a credit card for super small purchases is crazy.

Also not really smart for a park that sees a huge percentage of international tourists.

Move over, F&F coaster. Coming in 2024, Universal Bucks! Before entering the park, be sure to stop at a kiosk to trade in your cash for Universal Bucks, the official currency of the Entertainment Capital of LA. Food, merchandise, and more will only be purchasable within the park with this exciting — and exclusive! — new currency, only at Universal Studios Hollywood!

Kelly Clarkson will be retiring out of Stage 1 for USH, as she transfers to Rockefeller Center.



For context of where Stage 1 is, encase anyone gets ideas..

To clarify is stage 1 in the cluster of stages behind SNW?

Stage 1 is part of Building 2230, separate from the cluster to the left of Kirk Douglas Drive and more on the side of Gregory Peck Dr.

It is also the same stage that occupied Conan during his "The Tonight Show" run, as the building got an extension expansion in 2008 for infastructure purposes.

I wouldn't expect this to change anything, and point to the cluster in-between Transformers and Mummy (SS's 15-24 and the rehearsal hall)

If I had to wage a guess, this would be for a dark arts show for Potter.

 

[Jerroddragon]

Would not mind Dark Arts getting Plussed or a another Drone show

One of the video's almost looked like a Dinosaur and while I doubt it happens now....maybe they are planning another nighttime show for all the IPs for another summer show

Reading more into this: it seems the drones were presented as a technical showcase for a next generation, and not necessarily for the park itself?
